In these and other instances the irregular beaming of semiquavers and demisemiquavers, often across the beat (or even barline), also imposes an editorial conception of rhythmic organization which may or may not be in accordance with the composer's.

The early version of the first section (which readers will also find in the Neue Bach-Ausgabe IV/vii at page 154) omits virtually all the demisemiquavers which fill out the scalic passages, and it also has a firm tonic cadence and reprise of the opening, though an octave lower, at bar 15: thus the shape of this section is quite different from that of the familiar text.
